So bring the family to live the experience of swimming with manatees in the paradise of Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park in Cozumel where you will be surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna with vistas of the turquoise sea. Submerse yourself in the underwater world of the manatee, share a kiss and a hug and even feed these magnificent creatures while swimming with them in their home in the sea. You and your family will create memories for a lifetime and share a magical time with these manatees.

My family loved the Dolphin Swim! A once in a lifetime experience. My youngest wasn't supposed to be tall enough to do the swim but they let her do it anyway, with the help of one of their staff. I appreciated that and the kids were all smiles the whole time. The photos they took were great and we bought them - just be sure to bargain down the price! :) S.

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for finalizing our Dolphin Royal Swim and changing the time slot as you suggested. It makes more sense and I really appreciate your input. I will definitely pass your name forward for future travelers. Actually my daughter and her husband gave me your name since they were there last year at your PalMar SMALL Beach Club. Nothing but praise for you. Thanks again, if we get a chance we will try to stop by and say hi. Rich C Rich C. (July 2016) ~ Inverness, FL

The royal dophin swim was wonderful! My husband and I can't wait to come back and do it again. Thanks! Tara ~ Ohio, USA

My daughter, 13 did the dolphin swim and it was the best time of her life.. up close and personal with scarlet.. the pictures were beautiful and the video wonderful.. this was a once in a life time event that she will remember for her entire life... well worth the 99.00 and the additional 75.00 for pics and video coverage.. if you can afford to do this, this is not to be missed.. it was the highlight of the entire vacation... go and have fun, well worth the cost and a lot of fun to be had. WONDERFUL TIME.... Monica Beach and katie Richards Monica Beach ~ Ocala, Florida USA
